The Mormon Miracle Pageant portrays the relationship and chronology of three separate, but related, faith-promoting accounts from an LDS perspective. Opening with the experiences of the first LDS prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. during his young-adulthood in the burned-over district of New York in the 1820s. Including the recovery and translation of the Book of Mormon, the restoration of the "Church of Jesus Christ" in 1830 (which was renamed the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" in 1838) and its infancy, and the death of Smith in 1844. During the dramatization of the translation of the Book of Mormon we see an overview of its contents. The wars and contentions of the native Israelite inhabitants of North America are represented along with their teachings of Jesus Christ leading to his post-resurrection appearance in the first century A.D. The pageant concludes with the persecution of the Mormon pioneers in the East and their subsequent exodus to Utah with the second LDS prophet Brigham Young, and the group of pioneers sent to central Utah (now Sanpete Valley) where the Manti Temple stands.
